DEATH CLAIMS DENNIS E-
ALWARD, MUCH BELOVED FRIEND AND CITIZEN
State   Republican   Leader
Succumbs to Long Illness
in Henry Ford Hospital Thursday
Was   Outstanding Figure   And
Officials Laud  Party Loyalty of Deceased
A resonant voice which 'has rung
throughout the legislative halls of the
state a*nd nation for almost half a
century, and has never failed to register, whether it was loosed in a small
committee room or in a mammoth
auditorium housing thousands of
delegates and visitors has been stilled
by death.
Dennis E. Alward, veteran in the
councils of the Republican party of
Michigan, secretary of the Michigan
State Senate and honored and highly
respected citizen of Clare, died in
Henry Ford hospital, Detroit, at 12:-
SG last Thursday afternoon following
a stroke of paralysis the preceeding
day. He was seventy-one years of
age.
Mr. Alward was oorii in Niles and
attended the public schools of that
village, where he also learned the
printers trade. He studied law at the
University of Michigan for two years
and then engaged in the newspaper
business in Battle Creek, becoming
one of the owners and publishers of
the Battle Creek Moon.
In 1879 he came to Clare, and purchased the Clare Press from A. P.
Goodenough, which office was located back of where the Brown barber
shop now stands, and which through
his leadership became a well known
Republican weekly newspaper
throughout the state. Although he
did not continue in business in Clare
after he sold his newspaper several
years later to M. D. Baton, and entered into active political life, he al-
.ways maintained his voting residence
and interest in this city.
Mr. Alward's entry in state politics
was coincident with the leadership of
the Republican party by Senator
James McMillian, who was chairman
of the state committee, and Alward,
as secretary, was his close advisor.
He continued in this capacity until
Governor Hazen S, Piugree took control of the party in 1896..
From 1893 to 1897, he was secretary
of the State Senate and from 1897 to
1913, Mr. Alward served as reading
clerk in the national house of representatives at Washington, anil
Similarly at all of the Republican
national conventions from 1904 to
1928. His keen knowledge of political
affairs and parliamentary procedure
made him an unusually valuable official. At the beginning of the Wilson administration, lie returned to hie
post in the state senate.
.In 1879, he was married to Miss
Etta Stross who 'preceded him in
death about seven years ago. To this
union, two children were born. The
son was accidentally killed many
years ago and is buried in Cherry
Grove cemetery. The daughter, Mrs.
Hazel Alward Pinuock, of Detroit,
was at his bedside when he died.
Few individuals in Michigan have
won and kept friendships in the number that Denny, as he was best
known, did, despite the factionalisms,
jealousies and strife that have disturbed his party many times in the
years that he was among its .leadership, and which wrecked many close
associations.
Alward went serenely about his
business as secretary of the state
senate, as secretary of the State Central Committee and as reading clerk
in the national house of representatives regardless of the storms of
politics.
The regard and esteem in which
his associates held him was best expressed during the last session of the
legislature, when his illness began to
seriously trouble him and he failed
to appear at his accustomed place
one day. It came time to adjourn,
but the senators kept their seats and
no one moved to go. Finally Ernest
T. Conlon, of Grand Rapids, arose. He
pointed out that Mr. Alward had never missed a session in the forty years
Of service, except during the sixteen
years he was in Washington in the
national house of representatives,
and so to keep the record clear he
asked the senate to take a recess until the following day.
Lieutenant Governor Luren D. Dickinson recognized the' procedure as
unique and reminded the senators
that tinder such a motion they might
be kept in the capitol overnight. He
then put the motion and It was carried unanimously, "Denny" came from
a Sick bed to be in his seat when the
recess terminated the following day*
If is record was clear, even if the
senate had to break precedent and
DENNIS E, ALWARD
shatter routine to help him keep it
so.
A year ago he was signally • honored along witli Gerritt J, Diekema, now
ambassador to Holland, by the state
central committee. Alward and
Diekema were given the honorary life
title of secretary and chairman of the
committee, respectively.
Dennis E. Alward has been an advisor of United States senators, of
■ governors, a mentor of pages and
committee clerks, and a true and loyal
friends of any one who wanted or
needed him. Honest, faithful and
true to his convictions and his friends
at all times and under all circumstances. He was also one of the early
organizers of the John Q. Look Lodge,
No. 404 of this city.
The funeral services were held ai
tne Jarvis Estis chapel in Lansing.
Saturday, with Rev. Edwin Bishop of
the Plymouth Congregational church
officiating and interment was in the
cemetery at Battle Creek beside his
wife where the F. & A. M. Order conducted their ritualistic service. The
active pallbearers were Senators
Norman B. Horton, of Fruit Ridge;
George Leland, of Fehnville; Calvin
A. Campbell, of Indian River; Ira H.
Woodruff, of Wyandotte; Seymour H.
Person, of Lansing, and Herbert J.
Rushton, of Escanaba. A legislative
committee and prominent citizens
from all parts of the state were honorary pall bearers.
Postmaster S. C. Kirkbride, Chas.
A. Thurston, Dr. B. J. Sanford, B. N.
Mercer and Fred Doherty attended
the services from this city.

American Tackle in 1927, was the
speaker at the sixth annual banquet
of the Clare high school athletic as--
sociation, which. was served in the
school gymnasium, Friday evening by
Mrs. Nora Barnes of the Barnes Cafe,
<where one hundred twenty-two were
seated.
Mr, Nowack advised the school
athletes to work hard, train carefully
and live clean. He stated that opportunity does not count much unless
one is determined to make the most
of it. The speaker informed his
hearers that the best wet stimulant
for any one is perspiration.
Mr. Nowack related some of his
experiences in college football, referring especially to his junior year
when Illinois won all of their games
and the Big Ten conference, but in
the year following, (1928J, they let
down because of over-confidence and
lost to Michigan by the score of 3 to
0. However, this game helped them
to work harder and they lost no other
games that season and won the conference  championship.
The speaker said that college
athletes who had made the teams and
gained fame were not super-men, but
had won their places on the teams
through determination and concentra-

in location the golden fluid, there has
been a spirit of optimism among all
of the oil men who have visited the
location and studied the formations.
The top of the Dundee sand is expected at any time and it is needless

found somewhere in that formation.
A new location has been announced

ALFALFA CURING
DEMONSTRATION AT
SCHAEFFER FARM
 —i' ■ ■ /
County Agent Gibson Announces Meeting   of Vital Interest on June 25th
Alfalfa hay, cured so that most of
the leaves and a good green color ate
retained, is worth from five to ten
dollars more per ton than hay that-
has lost these qualities, according to
livestock men who have had experience in feeding such hay.
Even poultry men are finding that
good leafy, bright green alfalfa hay
will replace sprouted oats in the laying ration. Green alfalfa hay contains these vitamines which are so
necessary in stimulating egg production and at the same time maintaining
the vigor of the laying hens.
Alfalfa hay can be made which
will have the above properties. The
windrow method of curing is not an
experiment. It has been used by
many alfalfa growers in Michigan for
a number of years.
This year, a demonstration of the
windrow method is to be held in Clare
County, according to agricultural
agent P. D. Gibson. Machinery companies will cooperate in showing
what their machinery will do. A
specialist will be present from the
Farm Crops Department of the Michigan State College to discuss the
growing of alfalfa and to assist in
the hay-curing demonstrations.
Alfalfa is a crop which we will not
over-produce in Michigan for a long
time to come. The livestock need it.
the land needs it, and the farmers
need it.
The demonstration will be at J. W.
Schaeffer's, 1-2 mile north of Clare,
June 25th.
ANNUAL EXHIBIT OF
STUDENTS' WORK TO

The annual exhibit of work done by
pupils in the various departments of

which promises to be especially good
this year. The doors will be open at

attend the operetta and who would
like to view the work of the pupils
at the same time.

Circus Day is an operetta to be
given by the Junior High Girls on
Thursday, June 5, at 8:15 o'clock in
the High School Auditorium.
The story of Circus Day opens ,in
the school yard of the village school,
as classes are dismissed. Jim wants
Jane to go to the circus with him, but
she knows her father will not consent. They plan, however, to try to
get her mother's permission, and to
secure this Jim's uncle Joe and Jane's
aunt Flo offer to help.
Joe, who is the town bachelor, and
Flo, the school teacher, were sweethearts once Upon a time, but have
quarreled and are not on speaking
terms. Through the friendly maneuvers of Jim and Jane a plan is made to
induce Flo to go to the circus with
them and Joe.
Billy Jone's brother, also wants to
go to   the   circus   and   take     Mary
•Louise, but can not 'ask her because
iho knows his father would disapprove.
[Father appears and asks    Jane    and
j Billy to be at home by 2:00 o'clock
,and they  think,  of course,  that    he
wants   them  at  home  to  make  sure
they do not go to the circus.    Mrs.
Smith  enters and  learning of Jane's
and    Billy's    disappointment    and of
their plan to induce Flo to go as a

she can..    Joe asks    the    chorus    to
stand by him and they promise their
support in helping him to "make up"
with Flo, in return he invites them all
to the circus as his guests.
In Act II .Ipe, Billy and Jim are
waiting for the girls to come back.
They arrive shortly with the news
that they can go and that Flo has
consented to go as chaperone. Joe
tries to make advances to Flo but is
unsuccessful, until he finally pretends
he isn't feeling well and will not go
to the circus with the crowd after
all. This arouses Flo's sympathy and
interest and ends in her "asking"
him to go, which is Just what he
wants.
